When does plumbing rough-in need to be inspected before closing the wall?
Rough-in plumbing usually needs to stay accessible until the required inspection is complete, but I’m not sure how much the timing and inspection stages vary between jurisdictions. Which plumbing work commonly needs approval before walls or floors are closed, and are there places that require additional inspections for particular parts of a renovation?
For anyone who’s dealt with this, what did the inspector expect to have on site, such as approved plans or permit documents? I’m interested in how people keep a renovation moving without risking rework by closing things too soon.
